This secret is my life and belief that you can help a thousand people but not one of them helped you when you were in trouble and they never will.

This explains how I feel so much. I truly understand what you're going through, ST 11221.

After reading this and looking at the comments, it makes me feel better that I'm not the only one that feels like this. I used to jump up to try to help others because I always wanted to feel like they would be there for me when I needed them...friends never were, but my family has always backed me up. I realized that I've been wasting so much time trying to help people that will never care/help me, when I should have been putting my efforts toward my family. I don't really trust people much anymore, but my family, I would die for them.

I'm am amazed and astounded that there is a secret out there that mirrors an aspect of my life almost exactly. However, I am happy to say that this secret is such a secret.
ST, there is a time and a place for everything. Anything and everything is possible, so why not someone to care and help you through what you need to help with?
The only reason why I say that the secret is "almost" exact is the fact that I intentionally deny any (if any) help offered. Why? Could be pride but mostly due to other feelings I don't wish to discuss. \
All in all, inevitability is the strongest magic of all. One day it will happen and that one day will be etched into you memories forever.

Keep looking. Either mention that you're feeling down to one of the people you've helped, and they might offer to help, or just take as many opportunities to meet new people as you can.
I used to feel this exact way. Moved out for uni (not due to necessity, seeing as i'm only a 30min bus journey/15min train journey away - simply took the opportunity to go somewhere new) and wound up bumping into that person who's always helped me and never let me down. Not just him, mind; one or two other people, too.
You sound like a good person, ST. Only a very silly man or woman would turn a blind eye to that.

The moment you stop helping other people is the moment you start feeling like you don't deserve it. At least, that is how it works for me.

I was this, when I was younger. Then, when I neeed people to come through for me... they didn't. So I just kind of gave up, or acted like I did. Still, I kind of want to make people's lives better, or easier... I just don't really want them to know that.

ST, I respect you so much. I know so so many people who say "why should I help people, they wouldn't help me?"
I'm so glad that you help people, one day you will meet someone just like yourself and you will have somebody that will never let you down.
believe me st, I feel exactly like you...but every now and then my friends prove to me that people care as much as me, even if it's not as frequent as I'd like

I can relate. Especially today. Well, Happy Thanksgiving. A lot of people really owe you some thank you's, but since they probably won't, I'll thank you instead. Thank you, very very much.

I try to help people all the time too, and for the same reason. I know what it's like to feel so totally alone with no one to lean on, and it sucks. And I don't want anyone else to feel that way.
But that doesn't mean that I don't get someone to lean sometimes too. If I'm having a sucky day, I don't wait for someone to come to me and try to help: I reach out to one of my friends. I know that reaching out is hard and scary; when I'm feeling sucky, reaching out to a friend feels too much like I'm burdening them, putting all my shit on them, and that thought makes me feel even more awful. What if they don't want to deal with me? What if they don't have time, or if they're having a sucky day too? What if me reaching out for support is crossing some sort of line?
But the reality is that people love helping other people, especially people they care about. Reaching out to a friend pulls down this invisible wall and brings the two of you closer. It's personal. You're opening the door for someone else to walk though, instead of waiting for that person to climb over the wall. They'll be flattered that you trust them that much, and they'll want to do what they can. It's not a failing on their part if they don't realize you're hurting, because you may be hiding it so as not to burden them.
You never know until you try.

Feel like I could've written this.
In my experience with helping others I've found out that when you help others so much and give them good advice, when you need their help in turn their thought tends to be "well they helped me, they're smart, they'll figure it out for themselves." Which isn't true. Everyone needs guidance and support even if they can help others through similar situations, but that's because when they're helping they're the 'fresh pair of eyes', the unbiased one. When it's your problem, you're biased and emotionally tangled up and so you can't see as clearly.
I hope, ST, you will find someone who can help you and make you feel the way you make others feel when you help them. You deserve it.
